LANGUAGE ENGINEERING

Language Engineering examines the processes involved in dictionary-making, parsing, spell-checking, lexical semantics, machine translation, question answering and text attribution. The dictionary-building and natural language processing techniques examined are applicable to most languages, and the book includes extensive examples in English, French and German. This book is the first detailed description of morphology, syntax and semantics using the C(C++) programming language, and as such should be essential reading for researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics.
